i want to thank my colleague and friend senator schumer for the same. and carolyn mccarthy your words touch our hearts as so many victims who stand and fight for change do. she did more than just speak out, she ran for office to make sure her voice would be heard in the halls of congress. i want to also thank those who are here today, particularly law enforcement. we cannot do this without you. we need to have your validation on what we're seating out today. so many others families, victims, faith community who are stepping up now. this is not an issue of constitution, it is an issue of conscience. we have one basic question that is being asked today, which i hope we can answer, what does it take? what does it take to move a nation? what does it take to move a congress? we know of the thousands of victims of gun violence. we certainly know that not that long ago there was a tragedy in arizona where one of our own at a town meeting was shot point-blank in the face. others were killed in the same location. even that incident did not move us to act. what d

chuck schumer, senator schumer of new york is the chairman of the inauguration and he is kicking off the ceremony right now by making some introductory remarks. he will be the master of ceremonies for this. we'll take a little bit of a listen to him. >> despite the conflict which engulfed the nation and surrounded the city, the dome continued to rise. on december 2, 1863, the statue of freedom, a woman, was placed atop the dome where she still stands today. in a sublime irony, it was a former slave, now free american, phillip reed, who helped to cast the bronze statue. now, our present times are not as perilous or as despairing as they were in 1863, but in 2013, far too many doubt the future of this great nation. and our ability to tackle our own domes. today's problems are retractible. the times are so complex, the differences in the country and the world so deep. we will never overcome them. when thoughts like these produce anxiety, fear and even despair, we do well to remember that americans have always been and still are a practical, optimistic, problem-solving people. and that,
